Of all my hostel stay in the past 6 years, this was the best hostel I&#39;ve stayed in! I had a private room but loved all the opportunities to meet new people. From their free walking tours to their calendar of events going on in the hostel and around the city! It was a great experience. The hostel is clean, the staff is very friendly; even emailing you with a welcome before you arrive! The location is also great only a few minutes walk to the metro. I wish I could have stayed longer!

You know you can always come back and spend more time with us :) Thank you for such a nice review!!

I had a great stay! It&#39;s very close to the bus terminal, grocery store and a few places to eat. There are buses that will take you to the Falls, the Dam and other tourist locations. They also have a tourist agency in the main floor to help you book excursions. I LOVED that my dorm DID NOT have bunk beds (I hate them)!!! I would stay here again!

Great location; very close to metro. There is shopping and a few restaurants within walking distance. The hostel is small but very accommodating, with breakfast, directions, keeping furniture in place and bathrooms clean. I had to wait a very long time for clean sheets, so I was annoyed (and exhausted), I couldn&#39;t take a nap after a very long flight.

Excellent excellent location! It was close to everything including metro stations, food and busy and common streets! I would definitely stay again! They have a great calendar of hostel events and outings and breakfast every morning and there&#39;s an outlet and light by the each bed!

Thanks so much for your feedback Naedge! So glad you had a good stay! We hope to host you again soon!

I only stayed one night and thought it was in a great location, off the lake and close to the downtown activities. The showers are communal but have been kept clean. Breakfast could be better but simple toast, jam, pb and cereal. The chalkboard calendar list many things happening in Austin. I was only in and out but tour the place if the staff can't show you, so you know where rooms and other places are. Its a medium size hostel for the States.

My stay at Che Lagarto Fortaleza was excellent. Except for someone drinking my soda (with my name on it) from the fridge, I had a wonderful stay. The girls at the reception spoke english and were very friendly. The rooms and hostel were cleaned daily. Besides a dog barking early one morning, I was able to go and stay asleep my entire stay. I wish breakfast lasted until 11 or 11:30, since check out is at 11. There are cabs located right outside, a supermarket and the local beach is a block away!

Pros- decent size room, across the street from a supermarket, 15 min walk to Queen Street Mall
Cons- they have a bar inside hostel-always drunk people around at night, theme nights in bar are demoralizing, wifi works some of the time or not at all, no heat in rooms but they do provide blankets if you ask for one

Hostel is across the street from the Queen Victoria Market which is great. It's walking distance from many things in the CBD. The customer service is ok. The rooms are big or at least the female room. There are no personal outlets or lights by bed. There were three showers in girls bathroom but one was out of service and the other had no shower door. There is very good free wifi and power outlets only in common area. There is no elevator, but staff will help you with your luggage.

If I knew this hostel had no free wifi, I would have never stayed. Having "internet service" doesn't mean free wifi (and all nomad hostels are the same). The MAD travel desk wasn't as helpful as I thought they would be. The elevator was in and out of service. There are 5 floors. There are about three or four showers on the floor but one was always out of service. One bathroom has only "cold" water for hands and brushing teeth. The rooms have heat but no outlets or lamps near beds.

Close to main streets in old quarter, awesome breakfast- eggs made for you when you arrive, you make your own toast with butter and there's coffee or tea to drink. The manager is very sweet and informative. Would stay here again...I just wish all girls were cleaner!!! girls bathrooms are disgusting sometimes to even walk in! There is ac and fan in the room! They offer airport pickup!

I didn't stay for long but I loved the free breakfast and the comforter was very warm. I didn't like the connecting bathroom between a male room and a female room, but there is a way to ensure no one accidently walks in on you. It's a hostel that takes on the college atmosphere from UT.

This hostel is located near the beach, which is a plus!. Parking is difficult here. I'm not one for clubs, bars, and loud music. There were too many drunk guest in this hostel. That's not my cup of tea. Won't stay here again.

The hostel overall is located next to a beach which is AWESOME. But the community environment is very hippyish, and I wasn't ready for that. Also I prefer hostel with an age limit. Something doesn't sit right with me in having teeangers/young adults and grown/elderly men and women (who are strangers) sharing a space. I know backpackers these days can be any age, but the atmosphere changes when you realize people your parents age and older are sharing a room with you!

I had a hard time finding this hotel. The atmosphere and facilities are poor. You don't see anyone unless they're checking in. To make the kitchen more functional it needs to be opened up, perhaps into one of the rooms on the first floor (it's way too small). The rooms are a decent size but the bathrooms are very small. I also had a horrible time sleeping because of someone snoring. On the other side, it's in a great location close to the metro and shops. I wouldn't stay here again.

This hostel is in a great location and easily accessible to the metro. The staff was friendly and very very helpful. One girl on two occasions helped me find store locations and printed out directions for me. They have guide books for you to use to explore tokyo. The only downside is the security during office hours and the atmosphere can be a bit more livelier. The entrance door opens using a sensor. Literally anyone can just walk in during regular hours. Also, they have a great kitchen.

This hostel is perfectly close to Waikiki Beach, all while being close to bus stops other beaches and TONS of shopping! This hostel also does a great job of letting you know about upcoming and daily events. They offer a ton of activities and tours (some more expensive then others) for guests. I would stay here again.

I thought this hostel was in a great location. My only problem were the bathrooms being shared with men and women, with the execption of the all girls bed in the basement. On the hand there are nice size bedrooms and storage for your belongings.
